Buy a pound or half -pound package from your grocer, and use about one-quarter of it. Then, if you do not consider it better value than any tea you have ever used before at the same price, return the balance to your grocer and he will refund you the full price of the package. I know just how good, the tea is, and if you will accept my offer and try it, you will not be surprised that I am willing to guarantee every package. T. H. ESTABROOKS, St. John, N. B. BRANCHES: TORONTO, WINNIPEG. Too Hungry for Land. A dispatch from Winnipeg says that unless there is a bumper crop in the West this year, that part of Canada will !see hard times. Motley, it says, is ex- traordinary tight and hard to get on any terms, the majority of hanks and finan- cial institutions refusing to make loans except on absolutely gilt edge security. 'This serious condition of affairs is due to the extreme difficulty experienced in snaking collections, itself directly trace- able to laud hunger, which has mani- fested itself so remarkably among all classes of the community since the crops bumper s of 1901 02. Farmers P P throughout the Northwest, encouraged by visible signs of prosperity. have cen- trally fettered their immediate future by assuming big obligations in the way of new lands, expecting thereby to get , Tich quick. Payments on these lands had to be met somehow, and as the crops of 1903 04 did not come up to exaggera- ted expectations, storekeepers are feeling the pinch, and the same condition is re- flected through every branch of indus- trial developement. And so, if this year's ,crops turn out a failure, there will be hard times in the west. OIL The Sin of Omission. (Margaret E. Sangster.) It isn't the thing you do, dear, It's the thing you leave undone That gives you a bit of a heartache At the setting of the sun. The tender word forgotten, The letter you did not write, The flower you did not seen, clear, Are your haunting ghosts at night. The stone you might have lifted Out of a brother's way; ,The bit of heartsome counsel You were hurried too touch to say; The loving touch of the hand, dear, The gentle, winning tone Which you bad no time or thought for With troubles of y our own. Those little acte of kindness So easily out of mind, Those chances to be aueels Which we poor mortals find. They come in night and silence, Each sad, reproachful wraith, When hope is faint and flagging, And a chill has fallen on faith. For life is all too short dear, And sorrow is all to great, To suffer our slow compassion That tarries until too late; And it isn't the thing you do, dear, it's the thing you leave undone, Which gives you a bit of a heartache At the Betting of the sun. INES l l 1' Vt 1 (+HAM TIES, MAY 4, 1905 Trying a Joke. Same years ago in a North Carolina court, Judge Shipp presiding, the trial of a cause tad been protracted till near midnight The jury were tired and sleepy and showed flagging attention. Willie Murchison, 'who was addressing the jury, thought to arouse them, so he Said, "Gentlemen, I will tell you an anecdote." Instantly the judge, the jury and the few spectators pricked up their ears and were all attention, as Murchison was admirable in that line, had a fund of anecdotes and no one could tell them better. But he soon proceeded' to tell one of the dullest, prosiest and Most pointless jokes pos- sible, Everybody looked disappointed.. The judge, leaning over, said in an un- mistakable tone of disappointment, "Mr, Murchison, I don't see the point of that joke." "Nor I, either," replied the witty counsel. ,"But your honor told it to me on our way down here, and, as I thought the lack of apprecia- tion must be due to my obtuseness, I concluded to give the joke a trial by jury." IIna Feathered His Nest. The gauge by which worldly prosper- ity is measured is not always the same. But it does not so much matter what standard is used so long as it shows accurately the amount of gain or loss.

"The age of an oyster has abso- lutely no effect upon its quality," he said. "It doesn't get tough with age, like the higher order of animals. How long does an oyster live? Well, I couldn't say exactly. I have known Maurice river oystermen to claim that an oyster undisturbed in a neglected cove would live for twenty-five years before it finally died of old age. And an oyster of the Maurice river type keeps on growing all the time. I have seen some myself that measured near- ly a foot iu length."—Philadelphia Req- . ord. The Most Wonderful Medical Discovery of the .Age.

The eyes begin to grow dim, the pulse fails, the wholesome stream of our blood is choked and troubled, the limbs begin to decay like sapless sea- weed in a summer's sun ; our better views of existence are past and gone ; what remains is the dream of lost -happiness or the fear of inevitable evil. But remember, SUFFERER, that the wonderful and never -failing curative powers of that sovereign remedy, OIL OF PINES, has completely cured thousands of cases as above described. Therefore, upon the first evident symptoms of this dreaded disease, CATARRH, make haste and procure a bottle of the sovereign remedy called OIL OF PINES.

Some remarkable (sures effected by the never failing curative powers of Prof. Dykes' Oil of Pines :--- Prof. C. M, Dykes—Sir—I take pleasure in recommending your Oil of Pines as a positive cure for stomach trouble and throat trouble. I was a sufferer for over twenty years with catarrh of my throat and stomach. I tried doctors in New York and Detroit, but could get no relief or cure. I was completely discouraged and had given np trying any more medicine, when One day I was called on by one of your agents, I was busy at the time and took him off short; but he persisted so that I took a treatment. The result is that I ' am to -day as well as ever I was in my life arid 'completely free from the disease. I Can never thank that agent too much for his persistence, forbad he not urge& me so hard I would not have been enjoying the health I have, which I never valued until I lost it.

Who has not felt his power multi- plied many tinges, his intellect sharp- ened and a keener edge put on all of his faculties when comiug into contact with. a strong personality which has seemed to unlock hidden powers which he never before dreamed he possessed so that he could say things and do things impossible to him when alone?

In the course of his remarks be mentioned the fact that the sole article of diet for thirty days of one of the metnbers of his par- ty:, a Dane, was dried bones.

The King of Terrors Is. Consumption. And Consumption is caused by neglect., ing to cure tite dangerous Coughs and Colds. The balsamic odor of the newly cut pine heals and invigorates the lungs, and even consumptives im- prove and revive amid the perfume of the pines. This fact has long been known to physicians, but the essential healing priuciple of the pine has never betore been separ- ated and refined as it is in DR. WOOD'S NORWAY PINE SYRUP.

New theories of unconscious selection on the part of man and wife—like mat ing with like—as opposed to Darwin's idea that men and women depend upon their perceptive and itellectnal faculties in choosing each other, were propound"d by Prof. Kari Pearson, of University College, London, at the Royal Iustitu- tion He maintained that man has an un- conscious tendency to select a wife of his own height, with eyes of hie oKn color, a proportionate span from fore - finger to forefiuger, a forearm corre- sponding to his own and a constitution of like physical vigor. These. theories he expended by means of tables and diagrams. Among every thousand men the color of the eye is divided as follows. Blue 303 Green .... 412 Hazel 127 Brown ....... 94 The eyes of women are generally darker, only 286 of them in every 1,000 having blue ones. If these blue-eyed people married at random the result would be that they would mate at the rate of 104 per 1,000; but he had dis- covered that the actual number of mar- riages per 1,000 of blue-eyed persons was 140, or 30 above the random average thus proving that the blue-eyed roan and hint -eyed women are unconsciously at- tracted toward one onether. In the same way men with greenish - gray or hazel eyes tend to marry wo- men with eyes of the salve color.—Lon- don Mail. How Do You Know? How do you judge crackers ?

THE IDEAL BED, An Automatic Invention That Shonli Dieet With Success', Cubleigh scowled at the man who dropped into the seat beside hien in the smoker and was tasting a small brass model from his satchel. "I told you going In on the train this morning," he said, "that I have no time to spend looking at that thing. I don't want a bed of any sort or de. scription, I furnished my home only a year ago and have everything I re- quire for the present." And be turned resolutely to his newspaper, "Pardon my persistence," replied the . agent, "but I wish yon would look at this bed before you give a final an- swer. You were in a bad humor this • morning. I have inquired about you. Before you married a year ago and I came to live in Meekville you lived in a steam heated bachelor apartment ou Madison avenue. The place was waren when you got up in the morning. I When you wanted your breakfast all you had to do was to touch the bell. i Ain I not right? • Ah, I thought so. "And Airs. Cubleigh," continued the agent, proffering a cigar, "she was In a . girls' college until a year before her ' marriage, where she never heard of f#ozen water pipes, damp kindling wood and a No. 8 stove that acts like the Old Harry when the wind isn't just right. Right again? I thought so. Now, you are having the usual run of luck with servant girls; no better and no worse than the average commuter. When you get a girl that can work she won't stay. When you hire one that will stay she won't work. In brief, you can't get them out of bed in the morning. You have to light the fire yourself half the time. Your wife hus- tles to make you a cup of coffeeeln time for the 7:10. "Now, Mr. Cubleigh, this is a model of the ideal servant girl's bed. It is a dandy, if I did patent it myself. The necessity for it is based, sir, on thirty years' experience with servant girls in the suburbs. I know 'em. This bed is set with a spring, adjusted with mech- anism somewhat similar to an alarm clock. You set it before the girl goes to bed. At the specified time it goes off. The servant is gently but firmly toss- ed out of bed. She lands on her feet on the floor, wide awake. "Then the bed automatically folds it- self upright, like the sides of a fire screen. The spring lock snaps, and the girl cannot 'open it again if she tries. It is simply impossible for her to drop back on th pillow for another forty winks. There is only one thing for her to do—dress and go downstairs to Light the fire and get breakfast. See?" "Certainly, Mr. Cubleigh. I'll be at _ your office in the morning with the price list." 3 1••••• •••••••N••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••• 1�Q� 1i oIAM0NDPECT1 • • HOME o' •• • DY S DYEING.

In case the Hon. Wni, Mulock does not give us a Government telephone sys. tem, a contemporary suggests he might introduce talking post cards. Theyhave been introduoed to the British publto, and hid fair to revolutionize present-day methods of correspondence. Instead of laboriously writing a message on a post card, the sender may simply speak into his 5 -shilling talking maohine and take out a tbingelatiuous adhesive disc con- taining. the record. This can be fixed to au ordinary picture post card without Obliterating the picture. Thecard can then be sent through the post, and when placed on an ordinary gramophone, will sing, play and recite, as the ease maybe. The discal cards, as they are called, can be seut through the post without the slightest injury, and they are fixed to the gramophone like any other record. The system also will be applied to Christ- mas cards, and receivers of 1905 greet- ing cards will be able to hear the actual voice of the sender wishing them the compliments of the season. Messrs. N.ctlinger & Co., of Loudon, Eng., were the first firm to place the new post card on the English market. The Wily Sultan. The sultan of Turkey was conferring 'with his grand vizier ou a matter of state. "See to it that the manifesto is given 1 the widest publicity," he said. "Shall I give it to the correspondents of the foreign papers?" queried the grand vizier. The sultan meditated for a moment. "No," be said, with a shrug. "Go tell , it to your Wife." Not n Business Matter. "Why do you wish to learn jiu jitsu? I can't see where it'll help you in your business." • "It's on my wife's account. She's so fussy: Whenever our cook has a beau who stays later than 12 o'clock at night I have to go down to the kitchen and order him to leave." Logical Superstition. ' Balty Moore—Are you superstitious?

A gigantic stock swindling soltemehas been unearthed in connection with the Ubero Plantations The promoters of the concern advertised extensively, alluringly, in many of the magazines, and are supposed to have taken from 81,- 500,000 to $2,000,000. They proposed to raise rubber, coffee, limes and other pro- ducts ou lands they were represented to own in Mexico, but U. S. Postal Inspec- tor Suow, wit.) investigated, reports that they raised only corn to this value of $1,- 438, while they bought their coffee in New York and packed it as "Ubero growth" and sold it by agents through- out the country. Now a fraud order has beeu issued against them, and the principals with one exception, are sup- posed to be in Paris. Criminal proceed- iugs are likely to be taken against them, and if the postal authorities co-operate they may be extradieted. The scheme was operated ou the usual "get -rich - quick" lines and money flowed in like water. The expense was mostly in ad- vertising and sale of stock. Now some people are wondering why they were so easy. The moral is plain: —Know somethiug about what you are paying your money for.
